    A cell with a half set of chromosomes
  17. Heterozygous
    Have two different traits for the same thing
  18. Homologous Pairs
    Are pairs of chromosomes that code for the same thing
  19. Homozygous
    Having two of the same traits for one thing. (ie. two sets of chromosomes that code for blue eyes)
  20. Intersex
    A human genetic condition where there is not specific gender
  21. Karyotype
    A photoghaph of chromosomes, arranged largest to smallest
  22. Meiosis
    Cell divison that happens only in reproductive organs. Creates 4 gamete cells
  23. Mitosis
    Cell division that happens everywhere in the body. Creates two Diploid cells
